Born into a family with a hefty musical legacy, California model, actress, and musician Paris Jackson stepped out from the shadow cast by her father, pursuing musical styles hitherto unexplored by the Jackson family. Influenced in part by grunge, punk, and heavy metal, the daughter of Michael Jackson veered away from the pop and R&B sounds that made him an icon, delving deep to produce folk- and rock-inspired music filled with introspective lyrics. In the late 2010s, in addition to forming the duo the Soundflowers, she made her solo debut with the song "Let Down" from her first album, Wilted.
